Japanese fashion style that peaked in the 2000s. Although it has generally declined in real life, it remains popular in anime and fanart.

It has many diverse substyles, but typically involves tanned skin, styled and colored hair (sometimes bleached blonde), trendy and often sexy clothing (especially from the shops in the mall Shibuya 109), and heavy gyaru makeup, with a focus on false eyelashes, enlarging the eyes, contouring, and circle lenses. Additionally, many gyaru use the "gyaru-moji" (ギャル文字) style of typing and certain specialized slang (ギャル語). There are also certain common hobbies among gyaru: dancing Para Para was at one time a very popular activity in gyaru circles.

Two common elements of gyaru looks, especially in anime and manga representations, are tanned skin (ganguro - especially for older or throwback styles) and bleached hair. However, not every gyaru has tanned skin or bleached hair, and not every character with tanned skin and bleached hair is a gyaru.

Gyaru are usually depicted as energetic or extroverted. In adult media they may be depicted either as a high-school student prostitute or as having an unusually high sex drive.

Male gyarus are known as gyaruo. Do not add the gyaruo tag to a trap who dresses up as a gyaru.
